This project makes use of the Git Flow branching strategy with the following branch types:
-
main:
- Production-ready branch containing stable, released code
- Protected branch - direct commits are not allowed
-
dev:
- Integration branch for ongoing development
- Serves as the base branch for feature branches
-
feature/[feature-name]:
- Created from the dev branch
- Naming convention:
feature/add-payment-gateway,feature/user-dashboard
-
release/[version]:
- Created from dev when preparing a new release
- Naming convention:
release/v1.0.0,release/v1.2.3
-
hotfix/[fix-name]:
- Created from main to fix critical production issues
- Naming convention:
hotfix/fix-login-security,hotfix/payment-calculation
The repository follows a monorepo structure using npm workspaces to encapsulate separate components and their related package.json and lock files. This structure:
- Keeps related code together while maintaining separation of concerns
- Enables sharing of common code and dependencies
- Simplifies dependency management across the entire project
- Facilitates coordinated versioning and releases
- Supports parallel development across different app components
